Education Awards 2020

Welcome to Palm Beach Illustrated’s Education Awards. This year more than ever, we’re recognizing the professionals and institutions whose contributions have been vital as education was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Educators and administrators throughout the county pivoted from a classroom setting to a virtual teaching platform, despite a host of challenges. We salute these heroes, and it is our privilege to recognize our education leaders.

We welcome nominations through June 19, 2020 in three categories outlined below.
